Oroville, California with its breathtaking scenery, affordable land prices, abundant open space and easygoing lifestyle offers a rare opportunity for today's "pioneers" who are seeking to start a new business or simply move away from increasing gridlock of the Golden State's larger metropolitan areas.
Nestled in a bend of the Feather River at the base of the Sierra Nevada foothills, the City of Oroville is unique because its urban core is about 12 square miles (and 13,000 residents) which serves a geographic area several times the city limits area. The Oroville Planning Area encompasses 84 square miles and is home to approximately 40,000 people.
Oroville is gateway to the spectacular Feather River Canyon and the huge Lake Oroville State Recreation Area. Lake Oroville has 167 miles of shoreline with thousands of secluded coves and offers world-class fishing, house boating, swimming, picnicking, water skiing and jet skiing, as well as being a major supplier of the state's water. The area also provides excellent hunting, gold panning, hiking and snow skiing, with easy one-day excursions to magnificent Feather Falls, Lassen Park and the winter sports regions of Lake Tahoe. The State Capitol in Sacramento is just 1-1/2 hours from downtown Oroville.
Oroville's unique Mediterranean climate supports orange groves along with olives, peaches, pears, plums, kiwis and nuts. Acres of golden pastures stretch to the timber-rich mountains at the city's eastern edges.
